    This ones my fave: https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

    It shows the percentages of people who use your same browser features (called similarity ratios), and can determine whether you’re unique in their dataset. Can help for tweaking browser settings to try to make yourself not unique.

        Yes and it will appear unique every time because every visit is using a different combination.

        You’ll be unique be less trackable.

      i used to think that firefox on linux and as plain-jane-generic as you could get besides windows; but no, i’m ultra unique:

      Yes! You are unique among the 5084762 fingerprints in our entire dataset.

          Check next week or in a new private tab now, prob be unique then too—think Apple’s fuzzing/reporting some noise/junk data for us.

          Canvas:

          & WebGL:

          gotta be noisy, here’s hoping!

                I don’t know. But it’s random, which gives sites a “false sense of fingerprintability” each time.

          EFF updated their site since last check months ago, seeming to confirm theory

          Our tests indicate that you have strong protection against Web tracking. IS YOUR BROWSER: Blocking tracking ads?	Yes Blocking invisible trackers?	Yes Protecting you from fingerprinting?	◕ your browser has a randomized fingerprint

          Nice (& I’m unique again on AmIUnique)

        They basically asked for your name, birth date, and mother’s maiden name, and your browser just gave it to them and offered even more.

      Is there no add on, for Firefox, for example, to stop or confuse fingerprinting?

      Any suggestions?

      For Android.

        You can enable RFP on Firefox Android with about:config. Or just install IronFox/WebLibre, they’ll do it for you.

          About:config doesn’t work on my android Firefox.

          I should switch.

      that’s pretty comprehensive, and similarity ratios show how easy it is to create a unique fingerprint for somebody if you hash a few of these metrics together for example.

      My Mum always said I was unique.

      Now I have proof!

      Just being in Australia, and setting the timezone correctly gets you to below 0.6%
